These striking and contemporary sterling silver, shamrock, drop earrings combine modern Irish design and craft. Layers of meaning reflect Ireland’s deep history, for a pair of earrings that are both stylish and symbolic.
Three heart shaped emerald stones are held securely in a three pronged setting and are outlined by a sparkling CZ studded sterling silver shamrock in each earring. The sparkling CZ hint at the ancient pagan roots of the Shamrock symbol making a subtle three armed Triskelion.
Famously adopted by St. Patrick to teach the Celts about the Holy Trinity, the three leaved shamrock was already a potent symbol in ancient Ireland with roots reaching back thousands of years to the iconic three-armed Triskelion. Today the Shamrock and its vibrant green color are global symbols of Ireland recognized the world over and donned proudly every March 17th.
